PLAYER TRENDS

76ers

  • Quentin Grimes has:

    • Scored 25+ points in 8 straight games.

    • Recorded 6+ rebounds in 6 of his last 8 appearances at Wells Fargo Center.

  • Justin Edwards has:

    • Made 3+ threes in 5 straight games.

    • Scored 18+ points in 5 straight games.

  • Jared Butler has recorded 4+ assists in 9 of the 76ers’ last 10 games.

Wizards

  • Alex Sarr has:

    • Recorded 2+ assists in 12 of the Wizards’ last 13 games.

    • Scored 16+ points in 5 straight games vs. teams with losing records.

  • Jordan Poole has scored 15+ points in 9 straight games vs. Eastern opponents.

  • Justin Champagnie has recorded 8+ rebounds in 6 of his last 9 road games.

Returning home from a six-game road trip, the 76ers host the Wizards at Wells Fargo Center.

Philly took the first matchup 109-103 on January 8, extending their win streak vs. Washington to six games.

Most recently, the 76ers lost 112-99 to New Orleans without Quentin Grimes (available) and will now aim to snap a brutal 15-game losing streak in conference play.

The Wizards fell 112-104 to Toronto, with Alex Sarr shooting a rough 6-19—Washington is now 3-22 this season when he shoots under 35%. Khris Middleton remains out for the Wizards, which certainly doesn’t help their cause.

PICK – WASHINGTON +3.5

Nets

  • Keon Johnson has:
    • Scored 16+ points in each of the Nets’ last 3 home games vs. Eastern teams.
    • Recorded 4+ rebounds in 7 straight home games vs. Eastern opponents.
  • Nicolas Claxton has:
    • Scored 15+ points in 3 of the Nets’ last 4 home games vs. the Raptors.
    • Recorded 10+ rebounds in 4 of the Nets’ last 5 games vs. the Raptors.
  • Ziaire Williams has made 3+ threes in 5 of his last 6 games vs. Eastern opponents.

Raptors

  • RJ Barrett has:
    • Scored 16+ points in 13 of his last 14 games.
    • Recorded 8+ rebounds in 3 straight games vs. Eastern opponents.
  • Scottie Barnes has:
    • Recorded 6+ assists in 4 of the Raptors’ last 5 games.
    • Scored 16+ points in 10 straight games vs. the Nets.
    • Grabbed 9+ rebounds in 4 of his last 5 road games vs. the Nets.
  • D’Angelo Russell has recorded 6+ assists in 3 straight games.
  • Ochai Agbaji has recorded 4+ rebounds in each of the Raptors’ last 3 games.

Separated by 2.0 games in the East, the Raptors and Nets face off at Barclays Center.

They’ve split their two previous meetings this season—both in Toronto—but the Nets will look to extend their four-game home win streak vs. the Raptors.

Brooklyn is coming off a 120-101 loss to Dallas, with D’Angelo Russell (available) sidelined. Toronto beat Washington 112-104 on Monday behind Jakob Poeltl’s 21-point, 11-rebound, three-block performance on 10-13 shooting.

The Raptors are now 6-1 in their last seven when Poeltl logs a double-double—unfortunately, he’s out for this one, along with Immanuel Quickley. Cam Johnson and Day’Ron Sharpe are also out for Brooklyn. It’s shaping up to be more of a depth chart duel than a star showcase.

    • Recorded 8+ assists in 9 of his last 10 road games vs. Eastern teams.
  • Austin Reaves has:

  • Luka Doncic has:
    • Scored 31+ points in 4 straight games vs. winning teams.
    • Recorded 8+ rebounds in 13 straight road games vs. winning teams.

Wrapping up a five-game homestand, the Pacers host the Lakers.

The Lakers won the first meeting 124-117 on February 8 behind Austin Reaves’ 45-point explosion.

Indiana knocked off Minnesota 119-103, led by Tyrese Haliburton’s 24 points and 11 assists on 9-16 shooting. The Pacers are now 16-1 in their last 17 when Haliburton scores 20+—basically, if he’s cooking, they’re winning.

The Lakers dropped their sixth straight vs. the East in a 118-106 loss to Orlando, despite Luka Doncic’s 32-7-7 line and 24 points from LeBron James. Both James and Rui Hachimura are questionable—because apparently the Lakers’ injury report is never short on drama.

Bucks

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo has:
    • Scored 27+ points in 10 straight games vs. Nuggets teams with a winning record.
    • Grabbed 18+ rebounds in his last 2 games vs. the Nuggets.
  • Kyle Kuzma has recorded 4+ assists in 4 of his last 5 games vs. the Nuggets.
  • Taurean Prince has recorded 4+ rebounds in 5 of his last 7 starts vs. the Nuggets.

Nuggets

  • Michael Porter Jr. has scored 15+ points in 16 of the Nuggets’ last 17 home games vs. Eastern teams.
  • Jamal Murray has recorded 4+ rebounds in 7 straight games.
  • Aaron Gordon has recorded 6+ rebounds in 6 of the Nuggets’ last 7 games vs. the Bucks.

Wrapping up a five-game road trip, Milwaukee visit Denver at Ball Arena.

Milwaukee won the first meeting 121-112 on February 27, powered by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 28-point, 19-rebound, seven-assist performance. But this time around, Giannis is questionable.

Milwaukee fell 108-106 to Phoenix despite Giannis’ 31-point, 10-rebound outing and Brook Lopez’s 23-10 double-double. They were again without Damian Lillard, who’s now sidelined indefinitely with a DVT diagnosis.

Denver dropped a 129-119 game to Chicago, with Jamal Murray scoring 28 and DeAndre Jordan filling in with a throwback line: 10 points, 17 boards (season-high), and seven assists (also a season-high). Nikola Jokic is doubtful again, meaning Denver might need another trip to the DeAndre time machine.

Celtics

  • Jaylen Brown has:
    • Made 2+ threes in 6 straight games vs. the Suns.
    • Scored 25+ points in 4 straight games vs. the Suns.
  • Jrue Holiday has recorded 4+ assists in 19 straight games vs. the Suns.
  • Derrick White has:
    • Recorded 6+ assists in 4 of his last 5 road games vs. the Suns.
    • Grabbed 4+ rebounds in 7 of his last 8 games.
  • Kristaps Porzingis has:

    • Grabbed 6+ rebounds in 6 straight games vs. the Suns.
  • Al Horford has recorded 8+ rebounds in 6 of his last 7 games vs. Western opponents.

Suns

  • Kevin Durant has:
    • Made 3+ threes in 8 straight home games vs. teams with a winning record.
    • Scored 31+ points in 3 straight home games vs. the Celtics.
    • Grabbed 7+ rebounds in 4 straight home games vs. the Celtics.
  • Devin Booker has recorded 6+ assists in 6 straight games.
  • Nick Richards has recorded 8+ rebounds in 6 of his last 7 games vs. Eastern teams.

Wrapping up a five-game homestand, Phoenix host Boston at PHX Arena.

This is their first clash of the season, with Boston looking to build on last year’s 2-0 sweep—including a 117-107 win in Phoenix. Jaylen Brown was a problem in that series, averaging 32.0 points.

The Suns come in hot off a 108-106 win over Milwaukee, led by Kevin Durant’s monster line: 38 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, and seven threes (equal-season-high). Phoenix has now won seven straight at home vs. East teams—and it’s clear they’ve made it their mission to keep that streak alive, one triple at a time. Bradley Beal remains out.

Boston handled Sacramento 113-95 on Monday, with Jayson Tatum dropping 25 points, eight assists, and five threes… before spraining his ankle. He’s now doubtful. The Celtics have won 13 of their last 14 on the road, but Tatum’s status adds a question mark to an otherwise exclamation-worthy stretch.

PICK – BOSTON -3.5
